I bought another pair of boots last night. I don't need them at all.
In my defense, though, they were regularly $350 marked down to $95 and I've been waiting oh-so-patiently for last season's FLY London line to go on sale. They're brown leather and they have really neat detailing and I kind of got the shakes when the sales woman told me how much I was saving (75% off!!!!). And then Tracy Chapman came on the stereo at the exact moment I zipped them up and it was just me and the other sales girls in Body Blue at the time and we all started singing "Fast Car" together and it was kind of magic.
So, if you think about it, this is all Tracy's doing. She wanted me to buy them. And when Tracy Chapman wants you to have something, you don't ask any questions. You say "Okay, Tracy Chapman, you saucy minx. You win. This time." And then you slink warily back to your corner of the ring with a beady eyed, suspicious glare because thus is the nature of Tracy Chapman's mysterious powers.
